Discussion on MF http://redd.it/wrt3n

MF affects the number of affix in rare drops but noticable in a large scale only.

Ya..its cos you get NV to help you, and the multiplicative nature of the mf means that you have to have at least 175%(or 190% if you have +15% from follower) mf to be twice as effective.

they were doing warrior rest runs with gear only, no nv.
There have been others doing the runs as well and posting feedback and stats

I did a high MF run yesterday to test this thread out. From my game, I noticed that with 240%MF (5 NV) drops are more of course, but since its more..you get more 52-60. However, when I indentify these...I noticed that they have better rolls.. like 5-6 affixes. Hard to get Level 62-63 with such affixes tough.

So I am thinking ,,more MF does help in the roll of getting the affixes..but just that even if you get 6 Affix, you still have to roll it on the high side. So its a 3 strike chance...first strike ...monster drops a Level 62-63 item. Next strike..how many affixes to the item. Third strike - chance of roll high or roll low..

Feel free to add or flame on..smile.gif

The roll is top down
legendary
6 affix rare
5 affix rare
4 affix rare
2 affix magic item
1 affix magic item


your mf adds to the roll.

say without mf the roll chances would be

CODE

legendary   0.01
6 affix rare   0.1
5 affix rare   0.2
4 affix rare   0.3
2 affix magic item   0.4
1 affix magic item   0.5


lets say you have 100% mf then your new chances would be


CODE

legendary   0.01 +0.1 = 0.11
6 affix rare   0.1 +0.1 = 0.2
5 affix rare   0.2 +0.1 = 0.3
4 affix rare   0.3  +0.1 = 0.4
2 affix magic item   0.4 +0.1 = 0.5
1 affix magic item   0.5 +0.1 = 0.6


nothing is confirmed yet so these are just assumptions.

Nothing is said about the quality of affixes.
you can still roll a 6 affix rare but there is no guarantee its going to be a perfect rolled item.
